    Reviews With Photos - Cowboy Chicken

    John G.

    First, I'm grateful to Cowboy Chicken for offering a Thanksgiving plate special this past Thanksgiving when I had COVID and was unable to spend the holiday with family - I was able to salvage the day with an enjoyable meal, albeit alone. I've been back multiple times since to order their three-piece dark rotisserie chicken plate, and enjoy this place more each time I go there. I have a long history as a Boston Market customer (and even worked there in college when it was Boston Chicken), and although poor business practice has mostly phased it out of the fast casual scene, I still look to Boston Market as a comfort food standard. If you're familiar with Boston Market and are looking for that kind of homestyle meal, Cowboy Chicken's wood fire rotisserie chicken is right there. You can order a dark or white entree with sides or family meals with a whole chicken. Cowboy Chicken also offers wings, salads, and sandwiches. I go there for the rotisserie chicken, but if that isn't your thing, there's a lot to choose from. To me, a good chicken place also needs to be able to offer quality sides and Cowboy Chicken has a plethora of them: Mashed potatoes, rachero beans, green beans and a lot more. I'm still exploring Cowboy Chicken's vast menu so I haven't quite found a side I love as much as the Twice Baked Potaters, but I'm confident I'll get there. For $7 more, you can also have a side of brisket. Honestly, it didn't speak to me the first time I ordered it. I tried again on my more recent trip, and it was great. Not sure that it's $7 great, but I was hungry and in the mood for meat so I'm glad I got it and will order it again. Fast casual places usually leave a lot to be desired when it comes to customer service, but I'm always impressed by the friendliness of the Cowboy Chicken staff. When comfort food is what you need, giddy up!

    I usually like Cowboy Chicken but this Irving location is lousy. The staff are zombies, and the checkout person was a robot. Not a real robot but you get the drift. Didn't ask if we wanted drinks etc. To top it off the coleslaw , something I love from there, was frozen n ruined. The roll was stale as well. Didn't help the whole place was dirty and un kept. Altogether a one star experience.

    I love this place for the rotisserie chicken. Their double baked potato is delicious too. It always disappears when get take out. Their beans and rice have a lot of flavor too. This is a fast casual restaurant. The orders come out prompt and there is plenty of seating. The service was good for a fast casual restaurant. We will definitely be coming back.

    After hearing a wonderful word at church the ladies decided on Cowboy Chicken . I was was surprised and impressed by the smoky smell of the chicken and seeing about 20 birds going over the rotisserie fire in the back. The staff was friendly and brought out our fresh food to the table.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch and decided to try the Nashville Hot chicken tenders. Nashville was not hot; not in spice, and not in temperature. Flavor was mild, and the tenders were a little dry, like they took a wrong turn at juicy and just kept giddying. The place itself is clean and friendly, and the menu's got plenty of options if rotisserie's your thing. Service was fast, and I'll give them credit, this is a solid upgrade over your average fast casual chain. But for $13 tenders, I was expecting a little more kick and a little less cardboard. Might come back to try the rotisserie chicken everyone's hyped about, but the tenders didn't quite do it for me. Yeehaw.. I guess.

    There are many chicken places out there, but how many of them serve rotisserie chicken instead of fried one? Probably not too much! And how doesn't LOVE rotisserie chicken? Anyway, had to try it while in TX and boy do I wish they'd come to Colorado! I had BBQ Chicken Sandwich with pulled meat, and a buddy of mine had a three piece dark plate. We both agreed that more places like this should exist, and people that live within 10 min driving distance a super lucky. And of course, loved the whole atmosphere there - kind of feels like a Texas BBQ place, but it's all about chicken. Highly recommend and I'll be back once I'm nearby.

    Great service, good food, and plenty of seats! I was hoping to get some chard bbq flavor from the chicken in my salad, but I wasn't getting that. Nonetheless, the salad was good. The ambiance is nice and with moderate noise, depending on how busy it gets.

    Typical TX fast food chain. Service was quick. It had a casual vibe, and the food is made fresh.

    BBQ Chicken Sandwich
    Brandon M.

    A fresh rotisserie chicken place. I was in a rush so I just ordered a chicken sandwich. It was fresh chicken breast carved off the chicken, not out of the freezer. It wasn't dry by any means but could've used a bit more salt. It came with fried chicken skin fried hard which tasted a bit like pork rinds. Personally I could've done with that tidbit however I'm inclined to go back as the menu looked pretty good. They do have a picture window to see the chickens on a spit roasting over the open fire which I failed to get a picture of as I was in a rush.

    A gem in an otherwise culinary wasteland…read more This bistro is located off the main lobby of the Westin at DFW. There are multiple budget hotels in the area and the only food choices within reasonable walking distance are Denny's, gas stations and an outdoor food shed at another motel. There is a well curated list of local craft beers (8). Make a point to ask for the separate alternative "healthy menu". The food on that menu is very different from the comfort food on the main menu and it is available in half orders. I tried a half order of chicken and avocado arepas and a half order of tuna tataki. Both were delicious and visually pleasing. Staff is attentive, engaged but not intrusive. Prices for these two items were $8 each, very reasonable.

This includes a few nights at the bar and 2 nights in my room. The staff was never overly inviting but they were usually busy with a demanding crowd of hotel guests. Ordering through the Marriott app looked like a great option but it wouldn't work once they asked you how you'd like to pay. When you go downstairs and scan their QR code, it brings you to the same interface but on a website rather than an app, and that worked fine. The chicken wrap with fries was pretty good and was my go to. The house salad wasn't great and I wouldn't try it again. The half order of the tuna was decent but I loved the pickled veggies under them and would have just had a bowl of those! I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but having this inside your hotel for convenience is nice.

We also ordered the Candied Bacon and the Crab Cakes, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The candied bacon was the perfect balance of sweet and savory, while the crab cakes were packed with flavor and tasted fresh. To drink, we had the Strawberry Hibiscus Margarita, and it was hands down one of the best summer cocktails I've had. It was refreshing, beautifully balanced, and the perfect pairing with our meal.

If you're visiting Whiskey Cake, do yourself a favor and ask for Sheba if you can. We left full, happy, and already looking forward to our next visit!

    It was a treat for me to finally visit a Texas Roadhouse restaurant!…read more Yeah, da 808 is kinda behind da times, as we don't have Texas Roadhouse out here, but we got Outback Steakhouse in da 808. Lol! So Tuesday night Carrollton got hit with a storm. Heavy rain, lightening, & thunder. I asked my coworkers if they wanted to head out to dinner, but it appeared that da fella's weren't down wid' it. Luckily, my Big Island coworker was also in Texas the same time I was here, so I reached out to him to see if he was down........sure enough, he was. When in Texas, I guess ya gotta have Texas BBQ at least once.......and being that I have worked in Texas numerous times, I've had more than my share of BBQ Ribs & Brisket in the past. Upon deciding on where to go, we ended up at - Texas Roadhouse in Irving. The Tuesday night we came here, even through the bad weather, the restaurant was still packed! The wait for a table was minimum, and upon getting seated, service was instantanious. I think I was still recovering from the previous night from Japan House, so I didn't want to eat a whole bunch of food. Upon looking over the menu, I ended up with just a BBQ Chicken Sandwich w/Fries. As for my Big Island coworker, he went for da gusto and got a BBQ Ribs & Steak plate. What can I say about the grub? I really enjoyed my BBQ Chicken Sandwich! It was a bit messy with all that sauce, but that's what napkins are for! Lol! Very generous serving of food, and I managed to down all of my sandwich, but left most of my fries behind, as it was just too much food. As for my coworker, he destroyed his BBQ Ribs & Steak plate. I was so happy he enjoyed his meal, as two days before I took him to another restaurant where he ordered a similar combo, but left a lot of food behind (I think his meal wasn't too good at the other restaurant). One more thing about Texas Roadhouse...........have you ever tried the complimentary rolls? Oh my!!!! Da buggah is Winnah's! Overall a wonderful dining experience, and should I ever return to Texas, ya better bookmark Texas Roadhouse on the places to visit for BBQ.

    Texas Roadhouse is a popular chain that serves very good steaks in a casual setting. It can get…read moreextremely busy on weekends, so be sure you "Get in Line" using the app, so you don't have to wait a long time. There is zero pretentiousness here, tons of people, and lots of families. I wouldn't recommend it for date night, but it's great if all you want is a nice steak at a great value. My Overall Rating - 3 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - On my Saturday night visit, Texas Roadhouse was super crowded. They make the most of their seating and each table has a bag of peanuts and a pail for the shells. It can get pretty tight as Texas Roadhouse maximizes their seating, so introverts may want to stay away. 1/2 Star. Service - Once your name is called, a hostess will lead you to your table with a basket of hot rolls and delicious cinnamon butter. Unfortunately, on this busy Saturday, the great service ended here. They were so busy that our water was seldom refilled and a request for extra butter was never fulfilled. Super nice but also super busy. 1/2 Star. Food - We started with the Onion Blossom. It's really cool looking, but after a few bites, it's a bit of a fried, bland onion. The dipping sauce was good, but after a few bites we were done. Now, the good news is that the Texas Roadhouse steaks are tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked to order. I was very impressed as my Ft. Worth Ribeye was delicious. It was grilled at the right temperature and had plenty of flavor. I ordered the sweet potato (creamy and buttery) and the green beans (meh). This place is known for its steaks, and it shows. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Texas Roadhouse is very busy because it's popular. The steaks here are a great value, but the sides will leave you wanting more. Come as you are and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. Just don't forget to Get in Line with the app. 1 Star.
